CHOLESTECH CORPORATION Stock Forecast
Green day on Thursday for CHOLESTECH CORPORATION stock after gaining 0.93%
(Updated on Apr 18, 2024)
The CHOLESTECH CORPORATION stock price gained 0.93% on the last trading day (Thursday, 18th Apr 2024), rising from £281.00 to £283.60. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.14% from a day low at £280.40 to a day high of £283.60. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -1.94% for this period. Volume fell on the last day by -229 thousand shares and in total, 3 million shares were bought and sold for approximately £928.05 million. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.
The stock lies in the lower part of a strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at £281.33 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 27.60% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between £358.97 and £389.32 at the end of this 3-month period.
